Announcements 5/3/11

Hello everyone. Here are some dates and other announcements to keep you up to date on what we are doing in the next week.

Thursday, May 5 - Band Booster meeting. We will be discussing the Band Banquet, the Golf Scramble and a few other things for the next month.

Friday, May 6 - Strawberry Festival. Band will report at 7:45 am to the Band Room. They need to wear T-shirts, shorts, long black songs and their marching shoes. We will eat lunch at the parade after we get through performing, so they need to bring some money for that. We will arrive back at the school around 2:00. If they are going to be riding home with their parents after the parade instead of with the band, I will need a signed note by the parent.

Monday May 9 - Wednesday May 11 after-school - Drum Major clinic and auditions. Open to any band member currently in 9th-11th grades. It will be $30 to attend the clinic and the audition.

Tuesday, May 10 afterschool - Drumline auditions. Open to any percussion member currently in 8th - 11th grades. They already have the audition materials. I will be looking for 4 bass drums, 3 snare drums and a Quad player to fill next year's Drumline needs. I will also need 8 - 12 people to fill the Front Ensemble for next year's show.

Thursday, May 19 during school - Leadership interviews. Any band member currently in 9th - 11th grade can pick up the application. I will need the application and all materials associated with it turned in by May 18.

Friday, May 20 - Band Banquet
